A NATURAL GAS FIND.

The discovery of natural gas well
within the boundaries OF Ford county
would not appear incredulous to the
most skeptical. Scientific gentlemen as
sert that western Kansas is in the cen
trail field of the gas regions. Why

E. Z. Jones, who has quarter sec
ton of land, near Lone Lake, in the
southwest part of the county, has been
boring for a well and has attained the
depth of two hundred and eighty feet
without obtaining water At this depth
the drill strikes clay of muddy condi-
ton At 175 feet the drill passed
through soap stone, after this through
black soap stone, with indications Of oil;
at $50 feet sand rock is passed. The in
dications of oil and mineral are very
strong. There is no sign Of water
Wells in the vicinity are III and 1870 feet
deep, where a good supply of water is
obtained. Mr. Jones will continue drill
ing, and it is hoped he will continue
drilling until he finds flow Of natural

THE ROUND HOUSE.

We have been advised that the work on
the new round house has actually COM
menced. The site of the new building
will be little south and east of the old
building A part of the stone for the
foundation is already on the ground, and
the work Of construction will be pushed
to rapid completion. The work has
been contracted by the same parties who
built the round houses at Larned and
Great Bend. The next thing needed now
is large r. r. depot and eating house,
and it is probable this project will be
taken up by the company before the end
of the present year.
